Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth served up a battle for the ages on Sunday at The Northern Trust, with Johnson just coming out best, and it's the former who now shades favouritism for the Dell Technologies Championship.
Played every year at TPC Boston, this is the most familiar of the FedEx Cup Playoff events and it's probably the most enjoyable for the players, too. Raucous New England crowds and a golf course on which scores of 63 and 64 are fairly common means that the world's best can come here and freewheel in a way that wasn't possible a week ago.
With the field now down to 96, another high-class champion is quite possible. Yet this tournament has eluded the very best of the home challengers in the main, Rickie Fowler the sole exception in the last decade, and in among two wins for Rory McIlroy there have been some undoubted surprises such as when Chez Reavie should've beaten Webb Simpson, and when Charley Hoffman carded a Sunday 62 to take the title in 2010.
Pound-for-pound this looks the most open of the four Playoff events. The Northern Trust is typically played on a very demanding golf course which has produced top-class leaderboards, while the subsequent two are confined to players who have by nature enjoyed superb seasons.
Here, we have close to a hundred players who are all guaranteed their cards for next year, all have played well fairly recently, and at least 90 of them have some kind of chance.
In that spirit, I'll start off with Sergio Garcia, who looks overpriced at a general 50/1, with Betfred quoting 55s.
The Spaniard has enjoyed the year of his life, winning that elusive first major championship and then marrying for the first time, and it could yet be capped with another high-profile win.
As you might have expected, Garcia's form has dipped a little since Augusta. That's probably in the most part down to those welcome off-course distractions, but also a small degree of complacency which comes with achieving a lifetime's ambition. At this level, any player who isn't totally focused on the next shot is going to struggle.
That being said, Garcia hasn't been far off and had made every cut since the Masters until struggling at the PGA Championship. In among this run was second place in the BMW International Open, where he struck the ball beautifully, and solid-but-unspectacular efforts in both the US Open and the Open Championship.
This will be just his 16th start of the season and a degree of relative freshness may work in his favour. Certainly, missing a really tough event in New York last week doesn't look to be a negative and after a break back home in Switzerland, the hope is he'll be ready for one last push.
It begins at a course which suits his game. Garcia remains one of the world's elite ball-strikers, and that's very much the starting point at TPC Boston, where McIlroy is a twice-champion and Henrik Stenson should be.
Garcia's record shows six starts, six cuts made, nothing worse than 31st and a best of fourth in 2013, which came on his first visit after the most significant of the ongoing renovations made by Gil Hanse and his team.
What's particularly impressive about Garcia's run of form at the course is how strongly it has been powered by iron play. He's ranked third for greens hit in four of those six visits and given that he's just about as convincing as he's ever been with putter in hand these days, that makes for a dangerous combination.
The fourth-placed finish I mentioned can be marked up, too. Garcia was playing his fifth event in a row - something he hates to do - and simply emptied on Sunday, falling from first to fourth. He'd been sensational for 54 holes, shooting 65-64-65 to lead by two, but couldn't sustain the effort having sounded the alarm of fatigue to the media all week.
A break since the PGA Championship is of little concern for a player whose first two professional wins came after month-long absences, and who has since won all over the world after two or three weeks off, and the price on offer simply looks far too big about the world's seventh-ranked player given how well he is suited to the course.
To underline the importance of iron play here, every winner of the event since the beginning of the PGA Tour's archived stats in 2004 has ranked inside the top 50 for strokes-gained approach shots at the conclusion of the season.
Given that over 200 players are listed, that's a very strong trend alone, but when you consider that seven of the 13 ended the year inside the top 10, it's even harder to ignore.
Spieth and DJ rank second and fourth respectively, so it's easy to see why they're such strong favourites while the credentials of course winner Webb Simpson and the in-form Paul Casey are further supported by their respective positions.
However, I'll go a little further down the list to 28th-ranked Jhonattan Vegas.
The Venezuelan secured his third PGA Tour title in Canada last month, producing Sunday fireworks before toughing it out to beat Hoffman in a play-off.
A top-20 at Firestone the week after suggested that this out-of-the-blue win was no fluke and despite a missed cut in the PGA, he demonstrated that he really is at the top of his game by finishing third behind the big two last week.
That performance, powered by a pair of bogey-free 65s on a very penal golf course, put Vegas in prime position for a Presidents Cup debut and, at eighth in the standings with one event left, he'll again be all out to take care of business.
